A historic and inspiring hike that blends the magic of nature with the mystery of ancient temples awaits us. We follow the ancient footpath once used by Pan’s worshippers as they journeyed between Delphi and the Corycean Grotto—now part of the E4 European trail.
Starting from the Livadi plateau at 1,200 meters, we descend through the forested slopes of Mt. Parnassos toward Delphi. Along the way, sweeping views open over the valley of olive trees, the Corinthian Gulf, and the distant Peloponnese mountains. We pause for a picnic in a traditional sheep barn near the Cave of Pan before continuing toward the sanctuary.
Upon arriving in Delphi, we explore the archaeological site and museum with a professional guide. Highlights include the Treasury of the Athenians, the Temple of Apollo, and masterpieces such as the Bronze Charioteer and the statue of the athlete Aghias—treasures that make Delphi a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

We drive across the wide Thessalian plain to Kalambaka, a small town nestled at the foot of the Meteora rocks. In this remote corner of Thessaly lies a striking and majestic landscape, rightly famed as one of the wonders of the East. Towering above Kalambaka, the Meteora monasteries cling dramatically to the sheer rock pinnacles, creating an unforgettable sight.
